Great for these types of students

Alot of moms here, dads, kids fresh out of high school. We even have real world learners. It's a very diverse group.

Tips for prospective students

Prepair yourself for the entrance exam. It's not that hard, just if you're not familar with new ways that math are done or somethings have been changed then brush up before you go.

Bang for the buck

Offers a variety of programs to help you if you are stuck in a subject. The online programs are great too.

Am enjoying being here

Look forward to everyday I have class. Taking on new challenges.

Am learning a lot

The teachers are great. Everyone will help you get where you want to be in life. The students are ready to learn and fun to be around. You get to school and you can feel the energy of everyone learning and anxious to learn.

Sarah from Lincoln Park, MI

not too hard, but it's not easy either, it takes a lot of hard work and focus to succeed.

Tips for prospective students

keep focused, and if you take a psychology course, kineta morgan-paisley is by far the best professor in this field of education.

For fun my classmates and I usually go to the hill and enjoy lunch, shopping, and enjoy the company of others.

Food and Dining

The cafe staff is friendly and helpful, clean, and provide good food at low prices.

Dorm Life

Although the Allen Park campus doesn't have dorms, I lived in the dorms on the Owosso campus for three terms and had a pleasant experience

Tips for prospective students

Know what path you want to take to minimize your time at school, buy books through online websites, and take your college career seriously!

In three sentences

Baker College is a goal-oriented, career school. The instructors are all actively working in the field they teach and provide hands on and current information regarding their profession. Overall, I believe this is a truly wonderful college.

Work hard and be diligent in your studies, it will pay huge dividends in the future.

In three sentences

I believe Baker College is a great place for higher learning. Baker is flexible with its class schedules for adults and works with the students to assure graduation. I have had the opportuinity to meet several great instructors and network myself through these meetings.

The old owner of Baker Cafe had good food, but the new owner has made a lot of changes. I personally do not find the new food as good as the previous.

Dorm Life

There is no housing available for this location.

Academic Rigor

The academic aspects are really good, apart from a few experiences.

Tips for prospective students

Make sure you do your very best freshman year, it can make or break your overall GPA. Have a positive attitude and ask a lot of questions.

In three sentences

Clean school with small classroom sizes and hands-on learning. Great school to go to for getting done with prerequisites and associate degrees. Although its is important to know that credits do not transfer to some schools.

Great for these types of students

Anyone. There are adults and students directly out of high school. Even some parents going to the same school as their kids :) If you're not wanting a big university where you don't get one on one attention, this is perfect. There are small class sizes and they work with everyone to make sure they are taking classes they need for their program.

Bang for the buck

It's more expensive than a community college, but you'll be thankful. You get so much out of it.

Food and Dining

The food is pretty good

Dorm Life

There aren't any dorms at the Allen Park location

Academic Rigor

I've learned so much. I have yet to have a bad teacher at Baker. They are all very knowledgeable and help you learn.

Tips for prospective students

Talk with an advisor. They are so helpful on getting you started on a path you'll love.

In three sentences

Baker has made me believe I can get a degree. After spending almost 5 years at HFCC, not getting anywhere, Baker was recommended to me. They are very organized and well structured.

Kasey from Taylor, MI

Do not be afraid to ask questions. There are many people there that can help you.

In three sentences

Baker College is very accommodating to all of your needs that you have and very helpful with questions that may arrise in everyday situations. They have helped me get back to becoming a full time student as well as work full time. They also have many resources on campus to help you with your classwork.

Some teachers care in giving a good education to their students while some don't. So it depends on the teacher.

Tips for prospective students

Since classes are only 10 wks students should be on top at all times because each class period contains a lot of information all at once.

In three sentences

Baker College is a good school for those who are interested in finishing a career quicker then at a regular University. They offer suitable class times for all and classes are only 10 wks long. The staff are also always available to help, which is great!

Kayla from Woodhaven, MI

It's just a couple old men who spend a lot of their time flirting with students

Bang for the buck

If your program is accredited

What to do for fun

Study...

Food and Dining

Expensive - I lived off the candy and chip machines

Dorm Life

Allen Park has no dorms

Academic Rigor

They work you much harder than necessary - no time for job, social life, or down time.

Tips for prospective students

CHECK FOR ACCREDITATION - THEY WON'T WARN YOU!

In three sentences

Seemed excellent on the surface - small, affordable, offered my major. But don't be deceived, most of their programs are not accredited and they won't tell you that. They work you like a dog, all year round, for a very limited amount of time, for you to have a small change of being accepted into the program, and then if you do, and if you graduate, your time there was pointless because it's not accredited.

Campus Safety

Campus safety is excellent. They have campus security vehicle that drives around, a huge camera room, and security that walks around the school. When it comes to crime, Baker is a pretty boring place compared to other colleges.

Great for these types of students

Baker is great for students who want to have an easy transition from college to their career field. Baker is also great for students who like organization, small classroom sizes, fun instructors, and quarters instead of semesters. Baker is great for students who want to be successful and want a college to always have their back when finding a job, and that's exactly what Baker does.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Baker College is full of diversity.

Bang for the buck

Baker College is the cheapest Private/non profit college I know. And with financial aid it is even cheaper. I feel like the price is definitely worth attending this school. Because Baker is private/non profit school, the money goes right back into the school/students.

Food and Dining

Food Is pretty good. A lot of variety to chose from.

Dorm Life

No Dorms for Baker College of Allen Park.

Academic Rigor

Baker College is dedicated to the success of students and their learning environment. Baker College helps students understand knowledge and concepts that are complex, ambiguous, or contentious, and they help students acquire skills that can can applied in a variety of educational, career, and civic contexts throughout their lives.

Tips for prospective students

Some tips I have for prospective students is to form a study group, study for test/quizzes, complete all homework, and be organized. Forming a study group is key to getting good grades. Multiple heads are better then one.

In three sentences

Baker College is a wonderful college to attend. If you are looking for a school that will guarantee employment, than Baker is right for you because their placement rate is 97%. Baker is the most organized College I have ever seen, and overall just a really nice college.
